Piston pump

Piston pumps are reciprocating pumps that use a piston to move media through a cylindrical chamber. The piston is actuated by a steam powered, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric drive. Piston pumps use a cylindrical mechanism to create a reciprocating motion along an axis, which then builds pressure in a cylinder or working barrel to force gas or fluid through the pump. The pressure in the chamber actuates the valves at both the suction and discharge points. Piston pumps are used in lower pressure applications. The capacity of the piston pumps can be calculated with the area of the piston, the number of pistons, the displacement of the stroke and the speed of the drive.

In automobiles, the piston is connected to the crankshaft by a connecting rod. All the tuning with camshafts, cylinder heads, and headers are aimed at helping the combustion process. That’s when the mixture starts to burn and the air and fuel turn into cylinder pressure that pushes the piston down. As the piston reaches top dead center and the mixture begins to burn, the air and fuel located between the piston and the head is squeezed or squished out into the dished portion of the combustion chamber. The DUESTZ and SAME companies manufacture the best quality of automotive pistons which are represented in the global market by IML MOTORI belonging to their same group of IML.
